PREVIEW: 7 Golden Rules Of Self-Tapes (That Are Meant To Be Broken) - With 'Brassic's' Rick Carr!
Sep 02, 2019
There is NO DOUBT about it, self-tapes have become BIG business in the acting industry, over the last 12 months.
Casting directors are often skipping first-round, in-person auditions - opting for self-tapes instead - and actors are being asked to put themselves on tape, multiple times a week, during busy periods.
You can no longer use your technophobia as an excuse for a poor self-tape - if YOU don't up your self-tape game NOW, you're going to lose - it's very simple.
I asked accidental self-tape guru, actor Rick Carr, round to my apartment, to record the most in-depth chat on self-tapes, that you'll find ANYWHERE.
During our chat, Rick and I discuss:
- The rise in the popularity of self-tapes.
- How a self-tape got Rick his role in Sky One's Brassic.
- The ONE THING you MUST do, before you even think about self-taping for a casting director.
- Getting your ident/ slate right.
- The best place in your house to shoot a self-tape.
- What to wear for each tape, and why you mustn't overlook simple costume choices.
- Why you don't need the most expensive camera to produce quality work.
- How to light your self-tape well, even on a zero budget.
